Which Indian city is most prone to ISIS threat?

New Delhi, Sept 26: Which city is most prone to the ISIS in India. Which state in India faces the biggest threat from the ISIS? Chinchwad in Maharashtra is the most prone city to the ISIS threat while in the list of states it is Jammu and Kashmir. Prime
Minister Narendra Modi acknowledged yesterday that the greatest threat
was from the ISIS. While the threat is being faced across the world with
scores of youth being radicalized, India too faces a potential problem
from the terrorist group.

The report prepared with the help of the Intelligence Bureau and
various state police wings which is in the possession of OneIndia states
that Jammu and Kashmir faces the highest degree of threat from the ISIS
followed by Assam.Which state is most prone to the ISIS threat?
According
to the analysis done by the Home Ministry based on the inputs provided
by the Intelligence Bureau and various other states, the highest degree
of threat from the ISIS is in Jammu and Kashmir. The incidents recently
where flags were waved and ISIS like fatwas issued are all matters of
concern.
The National Security Advisor concerned with the
situation had even visited Jammu and Kashmir recently to take stock of
the happenings.
The state next on the ISIS radar is Assam. There
could be a spill out from Bangladesh and several youth in the state
could be probe to the threat, the report also states. Assam is followed
by Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and then West Bengal.
Intelligence
Bureau officials say that there is a situation that is being created in
these states which have always been a target of Islamic terrorists in
the past. While one off cases have been reported from other states, the
states mentioned above need to be careful as the danger of a mass
movement looms large.Cities most prone to the ISIS threat:Among
the cities or towns that are most probe to the ISIS threat are
Chinchwad in Maharashtra. Howrah comes next followed by Srinagar,
Guwahati and Mumbai.

This comes as quite a surprise as it would have been the common
belief that a major city would have been high on the radar. There is an
undercurrent in smaller towns and cities which could pose a major threat
from the ISIS.
The list was prepared based on the browsing
patterns in all cities and towns. It was found that the above mentioned
towns and cities faced the highest degree of threat from the ISIS. Very
often smaller towns miss the radar of the Intelligence Bureau.

However following this report all the police departments in the
states have been advised to keep an extra vigil on smaller towns as
well. The ISIS does not look to target people from major cities alone,
the report reveals.Who is viewing the ISIS propaganda?
The
report of the home ministry further goes on to state those viewing the
ISIS material on the web are those in the age group of 16 and 30. The
highest number of surfers on the net relating to the ISIS are in this
age group. There are very few persons above the age group of 30 who view
ISIS related material in India, the report also suggests.
Most of
the material that is being viewed relating to the ISIS is on the social
media. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are
the most watched for ISIS material, the survey also reveals. The Home
Ministry says that the biggest threat emerges from online platforms and
the youth spend a considerable amount of time viewing material relating
to the ISIS.
